Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Edifier R19U speakers:

  1. Position the Speakers: Place the left and right speakers on your desktop or desired surface. Ensure the speaker with the volume knob (right speaker) is easily accessible. The angled design directs sound upwards for an optimal listening experience.
  2. Connect the Speakers: Connect the cable extending from the left speaker into the corresponding port on the back of the right speaker.
  3. Connect to Power and Audio Source (USB): Insert the USB connection cable into the USB port on the back of the right speaker and then into an available USB port on your computer. This single connection provides both power and digital audio to the speakers.
  4. Alternative Audio Connection (AUX): If you prefer to use an analog audio source or experience low volume via USB audio, you can connect the 3.5mm auxiliary audio cable from the AUX input on the right speaker to the audio output (headphone jack) of your device. In this configuration, the USB connection will still be required for power.
  5. Power On and Adjust Volume: Turn the master volume knob on the right speaker clockwise to power on the speakers and increase the volume. The power indicator light will illuminate. Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.
